Born out of pandemic pivots and a dash of serendipity, Dallas became the backdrop for a love story neither Hunter nor Chris saw coming. As she began her new career as an IT Recruiter, a colleague suggested Hunter reach out to a guy named Chris Matchett in the North Texas office. “He’s got an opening your candidate might fit for. Oh, and he’s from Denver too — you guys might hit it off.” “Hmmm… okay,” Hunter thought as she typed out a message to connect. A Teams call followed and small talk revealed they were both seeing Odesza that weekend. Chris invited Hunter to a pregame at his apartment, but she politely declined — as a girl who spent her entire junior year of college at Red Rocks shows, Hunter decided it was probably best not to do… that with a group of coworkers she barely knew. They ran into each other the next week at the office and swapped concert thoughts. (Hunter didn’t mention that she’d spotted Chris in the crowd, dancing his heart out to his favorite band.) “I’m free Saturday if you want to grab a drink,” she offered casually. “Done,” he said, knowing their company would applaud them for “building relationships” outside of work. As the time for drinks neared, Dallas felt alive. It was the perfect August day — blue skies and a warmth that didn’t suffocate, but instead felt like a comforting hug. All the right ingredients for rooftop margaritas on Greenville Avenue. Several drinks in, the conversation hadn’t slowed. Chris suggested stopping by his place to let out Winston before heading to a coworker’s house party. “Okay, cool — more friends,” Hunter thought. Six hours later, under the neon glow of a disco-lit Wonder Bar, the two found themselves sharing a fishbowl as 2000s club classics blared through the speakers. Then, Chris leaned in. With one kiss, it became clear: what started as an innocent coworker happy hour had officially turned into a date. Fast-forward three years and a cross-country move, we’re here to celebrate the love and marriage of two people who found each other thanks to Microsoft Teams — proving it’s not just for corporate calls but also for modern-day matchmaking.
